Bearcat Section: Club Hours Doesn’t Mean “Club” Time

What’s a Baruch student to do with two hours of free time? Yep, I said it: FREE TIME. Who would have known that such a thing existed in a world where we are always bolting to class, papers are constantly being thrown in our faces, and deadlines need to be met? Well, at Baruch, there is something called “club hours”: an approximately two-hour period where no classes are scheduled. Not only are club hours a time to wind down and relax, but it is also a time to build up. By build up, we mean the professional development that transpires as a result of club membership. Baruch’s variety of clubs and organizations range from cultural to religious to degree-oriented. It may be a little overwhelming at first, but they are all designed with one purpose in mind: to broaden the horizons of your social network.
The old saying that “it’s not only what you know but also who you know” holds true. Through these clubs, students are exposed to the professional world; students receive internships and partake in opportunities and experiences that will only benefit them in their career journey. So don’t just blast your new Kanye album or grab a slice of pizza or build a puddle of drool on the lounge’s couch (We know who you are!); use club hours wisely to build relationships that will last a lifetime. No more clubbing during club hours!
